Thought For The Day: Jan. 18, 2019 ” Change”

Posted on by

Happy Friday,

Change happens, that’s the truth. Another truth about change is that it’s often scary. Because of this we tend to fight against change even when we know that it’s for the best. However, our thought for today puts change in a different light. Face it with courage, dance in the puddles and embrace the blessings it brings.

Traveling Light: Cat’s Angel Message for January 15, 2019 

January’s Theme: Stay focused on your desires and not your fears or past happenings. Our thoughts  are ready to manifest into reality and by staying focused on what’s positive we lessen the power of the things that we fear.



If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. – Cesare Pavese




115:  The new year just like any new cycle brings new beginnings and change. The key to embracing change lies in how we deal with it. The truth is that change is necessary for our overall growth, although to often we see change as a scary monster which should be avoided. When dealing with change we can either fight against it or work with it. Struggling with change keeps us from growing (emotionally, mentally, spiritually) and creates unneeded stress which can keep us from achieving our desired dreams and goals. Holding grudges or unforgiving thoughts about yourself or others also keeps us from moving forward and our angels are asking us to let these things go. However, if we embrace change and allow it to unfold naturally we emerge stronger and more confident. Today the universe is asking us to make friends with change and to elevate our thinking. Stay focused on what’s important in your life and continue working toward a positive outcome. Get ready to open the doors to new adventures!




We will be working with two archangels today. Archangel Jeremiel helps us to see the changes we need to make and  helps us to move forward and Archangel Zadkiel, who helps us to forgive and  let go of past hurts and wrongs so that we can move on. The Greek goddess Hecate teaches us about the importance of change. She tells us ” I am the guardian of the crossroads. Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”




Our Sacred Stones for today are Tiger’s Eye which strengthens our resolve to make things happen and softens any stubbornness where change is concerned and Chrysocolla which helps us during periods of change and challenging times. It brings smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity and calm. It helps us to be more self aware and promotes self confidence that inspires both creativity and motivation.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Blessings and Benefits: Cat’s Angel Message for January 14, 2019 


January’s Theme: Stay focused on your desires and not your fears or past happenings. Our thoughts  are ready to manifest into reality and by staying focused on what’s positive we lessen the power of the things that we fear.




The key to happiness is having dreams. The key to success is making your dreams come true. – Anonymous




114: Today the Universe is reminding us that we are amazing beings. We deserve the best life has to offer and when we work together with determination and enthusiasm we can create great things. Our number for today focuses on building a firm foundation from which our dreams and goals are created. Baby steps are the best for this as they require us to use caution combined with wisdom. Today begins a period of change and growth and projects you start at this time bring blessings and benefits. Start the day with a “can do” optimistic attitude to jump start long term success. Your angels are always here to assist you so be a visionary today and see yourself and others in the best light and find the very best in every situation…. let’s make some great things happen!




Archangel Uriel gives us essential information that we need when we need it. This assists us during the manifestation process by enhancing our problem solving skills so that we can make the decisions that are best for our current situations. The energy of the Ascended Master Saint Germain surrounds us with loving protection. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. And the Roman Goddess Abundantia teaches us to appreciate abundance in it’s many forms as well as attract them. She tells us, ” Your faith in the bounty of the universe serves you well. Cast aside your worry and embrace the richness of your life because you have so much to grateful for.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Citrine. This sunny golden crystal promotes an optimistic and cheerful mindset. It also attracts prosperity and abundance as it  aids the manifestation process by nudging us into action.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

The short holiday day of talking by the fire,

floating on snowshoes among

ancient self-pollarded maples,

visiting, being visited, giving

a rain gauge, receiving red socks,

watching snow buntings nearly over

their heads in snow stab at spirtled bits

of sunflower seeds the chickadees

hold with their feet to a bough

and hack apart, scattering debris

like sloppy butchers, is over.

5 Meaningful Holiday Traditions

I once heard that kids spell love T-I-M-E. I often think of that with my own kids, but I think it’s also true for adults. What adult wouldn’t want a little more time off for the holidays? A little more time to spend relaxing by the fire. A little more time with a loved one who is no longer with us. This holiday season focus on meaningful traditions, whether that translates to time spent in peaceful solitude and reflection as you head into the new year, or time spent with friends and family. Here are five ways to create meaningful new holiday traditions

MBG: Why I Don’t Do New Year’s Resolutions & What To Do Instead


I am on my tiptoes every New Year’s Eve, caught up in the magic of something new this way coming. “Auld Lang Syne” is in my ears reminding me to honor the past that brought me here as I ask everyone around me what their favorite part of the year was and why. The clock winds down, and I close my eyes for my kiss, confident my new life is beginning the very next day. It is pure magic and wishful bliss.

Daily Good: Okagesama


Okagesama is the awareness that what is inside the walls of your house or under the skin of your body or any aspect of your life and experience are elements that cannot be seen. They are in the shadows and in order to see them, we have to look very deeply. Gregg Krech writes that we have to see with more than our eyes. There are unseen forces in our lives that make them possible. When we reflect on this and try to identify all the unseen forces that make a thing or an experience possible, we discover that it is endless. We discover that what is in the shadows doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, but that once we bring the light of awareness to it, we often find that it is love.

Elephant Journal: The Big Box of Astrology for 2019: Change is Coming Your Way.


*Whether astrology is science or magic, we’re open to most things, if they may be of benefit. ~ Ed.


Too many of us are bruised, battered, and worn from 2018’s energy.

One of the things that most of us enjoy about astrology is its ability to give us some indicators into where we go next.

Astrology is not just about what lies ahead—it’s about the past and present, too.

MNN: Why and how you should start a sit-spot routine

Spending time in nature has proven health benefits, and this habit will help you reap those positive rewards.


I’m sitting on deep green moss at the base of an old Sitka spruce. Sunlight is filtering down through a canopy of pine and alder, vine maple and salmonberry. On my right, a small creek tumbles over rocks and fine silt, wraps around the little knoll I’m on and continues down a small green ravine into a sedge-filled marsh.

Patheos-Pagan: WHEN IT’S NOT ABOUT THE VIRGIN


What is this dark time of the year, when it’s not about belief, whether the biblical or the pagan?

Without the cards, the first thing that fell into my head as a quick answer was a favorite line from the movie All the President’s Men: ‘If it ain’t sex, follow the money.’

Right.

Inner Journey:


WHAT’S IMPORTANT?


“Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.”

— Stephen Covey


Time management is all about making decisions. At each step of the way, we want to choose activities that best support what we want to do with our lives. To do this, we need to be clear about our short and long-term goals.


Here’s a general question to ask yourself often: “Is this the best use of my time in terms of meeting my goals?” Sometimes, of course, we don’t have any choice. But ask yourself honestly, “Could I take more control if I really wanted to?” Often, we play the victim because we don’t want to make the effort to change our behaviour.


“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.'”

— Lao-Tzu

These Brussels sprouts are extra yummy, sweetened by being caramelized, and studded with cranberries. The onions and garlic give it a nice smoky flavour. I love the green and red look for the holidays. 🙂

Daily Wisdom

December 26, 2018


Blessings


“The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.”


-Robert Louis Stevenson

Stevenson says “do not grasp at the stars” as if to say- don’t worry so much about things you don’t have, things that are out of your reach. Instead, focus on the task at hand, and see the beauty and the blessings which are right here, right now. We can’t appreciate what is right in front of us if we are looking off into the distance.

Beliefnet: 6 Things to Leave Behind in the New Year 

Life is too short to give fear, regret, and bad habits a place in this next year.

I love New Years. Something about new beginnings and chances to improve always gives me a feeling of hope and excitement. Plus, I just love champagne. It’s almost as invigorating as the idea of letting go of “the old” things you want to forget or habits you want to change. Like running like an Olympian to catch the kids’ bus every day. Or drinking that second (okay fourth) cup of coffee before three.

Only For a Moment: Cat’s Angel Message for December 23, 2018 


December’s Theme: Pay close attention to recurring thoughts and ideas. These messages and clues will assist you to make improvements in your life. Taking action will aid in manifestation.




Could you risk believing that everything will unfold just fine if you completely let go of all concern about everything else, and simply are here, now – if only for a moment? – Dmitri Bilgere




1223:  We work with faith everyday and sometimes even the most steadfast believers can find their faith being tested. The Universe has asked the Ascended Masters to step in and give us helping hand. Remember that many of the AM’s walked the earth in human form so they have an intimate knowledge of the problems we face particularly when it come to faith. Our Angels and the Ascended Masters know that we have the skills and abilities to make the best choices and decisions with what we have to work with. They are here to help us realize this and give us a boost in the faith department. Even if there are no pressing issues today the presence and loving energy of the Master’s can be very uplifting. Today is also a great time to clear your energy field as this will allow their loving energy to fill your heart and spirit!




The Ascended Master Buddha is called the Enlightened or Awakened One. During his life he lived as both prince and ascetic. When he achieved true enlightenment he came to realize that the key to happy living required moderation and balance in all things, which helps us in the decision making department. Ascended Master Jesus embodies faith, he also provides a clear and direct line of communication to the Divine and he helps all who ask and the Ascended Master Serapis Bey helps us to release our troubles and offers clear guidance and motivation regarding our own self improvement.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Chrysocolla. This powerful blue-green stone helps us during periods of change and challenging times. It brings smooth transitions and helps us to accept change with serenity and calm. It helps us to be more self aware and promotes self confidence that inspires both creativity and motivation. We can also use Moldavite to enhance communication with the Ascended Masters or Smoky Quartz which  will help to ground and center your energy.




Bright blessings for a magickal day!

Helping Yourself: Cat’s Angel Message for October 5, 2018 


October’s Theme: Divine guidance and messages. Thoughts, ideas, insights, or even warnings. These messages are important for us personally, emotionally and spiritually so work on staying open to the information that you receive.




We’ve observed that people who stall in their personal growth work often have counterproductive soft addictions that stand in their way of growth and having the life they say they want. It can be a simple thing, such as watching TV instead of finishing a project. – Judith Wright




105:   Change usually happens when we aren’t paying attention and this can be a little scary. However, change is generally a good thing designed to help us grow. Over the last several months we have worked on initiating changes in our lives and when we do our best to hold it in a positive light, things flow smoothly. Be assertive and follow your inner guidance. Today the angels are asking us to stay in the present and acknowledge the changes we have initiated or want to make happen. Asking for assistance from the Divine and from the angels works to our benefit as does asking for the grace and courage to make these changes a reality. Remember to implement your creative thinking to find new ways and ideas that will help you to make things happen.




Archangel Uriel helps us to let go of the past and invite changes and transformation into our lives. He helps us to find harmony in the things going on around us. Letting go is essential for change and transformation to take place. The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to set aside things we have no control over. And, the Irish goddess Dana tells us,   “While you wait for these blessings to arrive fill your heart with feelings of abundance. Engage yourself in things that make you feel abundant!” ….. ” Your energy is linked to the energy of the Divine. Acknowledge and strengthen this connection as it allows you to handcraft your dreams.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Smoky Quartz. This is an excellent protective stone that also grounds, centers and provides assistance in the letting go process.

A Personal Life: Cat’s Angel Message for September 25, 2018

daily Angel Message sms


A Personal Life: Cat’s Angel Message for September 25, 2018 


 September’s Theme: This month will involve working on our Life Mission/ Purpose. Sometimes we have a clear vision of what that is and sometimes we don’t.  Remember that everything you do has an impact on your world and the people in it and around you.  It can be simple, like making “tiny miracles” happen for others or even making your own life or the life of a loved one better. Sometime’s the small things are the best!




The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. – Anais Nin




925:  Yesterday we talked about the changes that are headed our way. However, some of you may be experiencing them now.  If you are remember that faith is an asset (faith in self and Spirit). It will help you move forward and will invite new things into your life. Today’s number (25) is about action and rising above any obstacles that you encounter. Since change is necessary for growth be sure to embrace the resources you have (like your support system) as they will help you to live life to the fullest and create fresh new ideas and prospects. Combine this with confidence and strength and step into your power to make things happen. The secret to change lies in acceptance and the ability to let things unfold naturally.




If you feel that your faith or confidence is lagging  call on Archangel Michael. He helps us to find the inner power to commit to what we believe in while boosting our  courage and self esteem. The Greek goddess Hecate in her maiden aspect helps us with new beginnings. She can teach us to see things with a new and fresh perspective which we need when change comes knocking. And the Hindu god Ganesh helps clear all obstacles from our path.




Our Sacred Stone for today is Black Banded Agate which provides energy and support when we start all forms of new things.

Destination Not Important: Cat’s Angel Message for September 24, 2018 


 September’s Theme: This month will involve working on our Life Mission/ Purpose. Sometimes we have a clear vision of what that is and sometimes we don’t.  Remember that everything you do has an impact on your world and the people in it and around you.  It can be simple, like making “tiny miracles” happen for others or even making your own life or the life of a loved one better. Sometime’s the small things are the best!




Success is a journey, not a destination. – Ben Sweetland




924:  As we work on our personal, spiritual and life goals we will find that faith in ourselves is one of our biggest assets. The other important asset is our support system. Our friends, family and Divine sources play a major roles in our success. Today the Universe is sending a gentle reminder that your support system is here. It is surrounding you with supportive and healing energies. This will be important for the changes headed your way or that you are experiencing now. The key here is to allow these things to happen naturally, so don’t force things to happen or struggle to stop them. These changes will benefit you and and shape your goals and dreams. Have faith in yourself and in the Universal powers and get ready to reap the rewards.




Archangel Michael protects us, and offers direction, guidance and courage as we navigate out chosen path. The Hawaiian fire goddess Pele helps us to create and prioritize our goals to help us achieve success , “Within you lives the sacred fire that gives life to your greatest dreams and passions. This part of you must be allowed to come forward, not smothered beneath fear, resentment or the expectations of others. Your fire will help you forge new paths!” And Ascended Master Buddha teaches moderation in all things as well as promoting spiritual growth and understanding of self.




Use Angelite, Celestite or  Apophyllite help to open communications with the divine realms. Rose Quartz to promote self love and Citrine which brings light into the dark and encourages new/ fresh beginnings.

Everything Has a Cycle: Cat’s Angel Message for August 18, 2018 


August Theme:  Prosperity and abundance is what we are concentrating on  this month. The key will be keeping a positive focus and tapping into your creative side to solve problems. Remember that you are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!




 Careers and relationships also have their cycles of birth, growth, and death – to be followed by rebirth and the renewal of the cycle. – Jonathan Lockwood Huie 




818:  Our positive and creative mind set helps to generate new and wonderful things. But first we must let go and allow change to happen. The Universe is telling us today that a phase or cycle in our lives is coming to a close and it’s time to move on to the next level. Remember that when one door closes another opens. Your power of personal manifestation is moving quickly and the key will be in staying motivated and confident in your own ability to create for yourself.  Don’t allow yourself to backslide into outdated or negative thought patterns if you want to keep the doors open and the roadways clear. The good things that are headed your way may send you in a new direction but one that will be worth it!




 Archangel Haniel grants us the ability to handle life and it’s changes with poise and grace, while embracing both our spiritual gifts and the joy that is found  within. The Ascended Master Kuthumi helps us to navigate the distractions of everyday life. He encourages us to focus on what’s important right now and to set aside things we have no control over or if you are finding yourself  stuck at a crossroads and  are wondering which direction to go the Greek Goddess  Hecate can offer guidance to point you in the right direction. Some of Hecate’s lessons are tough but worth the effort. Her message is “ I am the guardian of the crossroads. Remember that to move ahead you must face your fears and release the past. Change and circumstance are inviting you to choose a path. It is your choice so make the one that is best for you.”




Our Sacred Stone for today is Aquamarine. This stone balances  emotions that can become frayed during the change that new cycles create. It helps us to move forward and navigate the ebb and flow of life.
